During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while officials has demanded "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and applying penalties," was stated in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes struck electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Local officials said the city experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The attacks follow periods of air raids in the territory, portions of which are occupied by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for more assaults.
